Cutting back conifers in C/A

Hi all, I've been asked to cut back a connie hedge in a conservation area.

The hedge is the neighbours, and the overhang is literally right up to my clients bungalow at the narrowest point (theres a 2ft path inbetween fence and house)

 

Client wants them cut back HARD along side the house and the section which is away from the house into the back garden, trimmed back as far as keeping green.

 

Literally wants them cut back to fence line (completely understandable considering how dark it is and pushing on roof tiles and fascia)

 

Hedge is approx 30m long ( 20m covered by property from any view)

And approx 10m high down to 5 into the back (my clients bungalow is on a sloped rear garden)

 

How does this work fall within 211, as its abit more than a standard trim, or does full notice of works and 6 week apply?

 

Many thanks

I think he owners of the house behind have not long been in, so I think hes pretty happy that the tops have been done, just not so much for the fact that nothing was done his side. Even though I said numerous times about brown, I do completely agree, theres no real alternative to achieve the distance from the property. It will only be him that can see it. I'll give the tree officer a call Monday. Thanks

Some people honestly don't mind the brown. I did this to a hedge in the summer, the customer was over the moon as she hates conifers nearly as much as she hates the neighbours.PSX_20200307_194828.jpeg

Then plant some Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) along the hedge line and in no time at all the 'other side' will have to trim what 'this side' has planted.
